RB Maurice Wells (official thread)

Lydell is a monster.
i go running by his appt alot, hes out grilling all the time, and he is HUGE.
that being said, it has obviously not helped his durability.
it he stays healthy though, we will be better than fine at RB this year.

One of the things that Ilike about Lydell is that he has apparently responded to criticism, getting bypassed by a younger guy, etc., by working his ass off. My hope is that his durability issues have been flukes, and I agree with you that if he stays healthy this year, he's going to get the job done.

Anyone hitting the panic button yet?

Hopefully that's a Buckeye shirt he has on.

NO WAY!!!!! Everyone (even Lemming) knows that a guy like Wells wouldn't wear his real favorite hat until his presser on signing day.

[MililaniBuckeye]

Uh, everyone chill. Remember this pic of Ryan Williams with the USC shirt on? What kids wear on their off time doesn't always reflect who their true favorite teams are.

1. He better have a OSU shirt on
2. That hat doesn't match that shirt
3. I have a necklace like that

[JohnnyCockfight]

Williams may have been wearing a USC t-shirt, but those shorts look better. Better meaning Ohio State of course.

Maybe Wells really is wearing an OSU shirt.

This falls very very deeply in to the category of "news" that I could give less tha a [censored] about.

That pic - was it taken at GT camp perhaps?

[sears3820]

Jesus christ folks I wasn't serious about panicking.

Had I posted this at BN, the meltdown would have locked up their boards.

so true, so true...

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Sears - I know... sorry if I suggested otherwise...

[zincfinger]

No, no panic button yet. And I have no idea what the confidence level is on this guy (in terms of whether he'll commit to Ohio State), but I hope he feels ready to make a decision relatively early, since the OSU coaches seem to have written off pursuing any other RB's seriously as long as he's still deciding.

[funman]

He will announce on TV on NLOID. He could decide well ahead of his announcement. Recently HH assessed Wells' chances of deciding on OSU at 80%. I doubt OSU would promise a recruit exclusivity for a position, especially RB. If I were Wells, my main concern would be who is in the program ahead of me, not who was entering the program with me (except OL of course).

i read an article somewhere that stated wells may decide to announce at the AA game instead of on signing day. i really hope that is the case so if he does go to GT, osu can regroup and target someone else.
